What type of reproduction occurs when the parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size?
Binary Fission
200
List the phases of mitosis in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
200
When do most cancers form? (age)
Later in life, 40-70 years of age
200
What is the purpose of the 'S' phase?
DNA Replication, 2x the DNA
200
What process occurs in the reproductive organs?
Meiosis

What is the purpose of meiosis?
Reproduction
400
What are the two gametes involved in sexual reproduction?
Egg & Sperm
400
What stage of mitosis is this?

Surgery, Radiation Therapy, Chemotherapy
400
What are the stage of interphase in order?
G1, S, G2
400
What are two ways meiosis is different than mitosis?
Meiosis: non-identical cells, haploid cells, 4 cells produced, gametes (sperm & egg), two rounds of cell division, one set of chromosomes.
Mitosis: identical cells, diploid cells, 2 cells produced, most cells (hair, skin, etc.), one round of cell division, two sets of chromosomes.
500
Why is sexual reproduction favored over asexual reproduction?
more diversity than asexual because there are genes from two parents
500
Explain diploid cells.
Diploid cells reproduce by mitosis making daughter cells that are exact replicas.
500
What forms when cells divide uncontrollably and spread into tissues around the area?
Tumors
500
What is the purpose of the G0 phase?
rest phase before the cell cycle starts again
500
What are haploid cells?
non-identical cells contains one complete set of chromosomes that come together during fertilization.
